Out now on episode 2 of Citizen Detective; Episode 2 Rachael Runyan
In this episode, the panel examines the heartbreaking August, 1982 abduction and murder of 3 year-old Rachael Runyan in Sunset, Utah. Rachael was playing at a park alongside her brothers, just feet away from her home. Their mom Elaine, watched from the window as she prepared a meal for the family. Although Elaine was nervous about letting the kids out to play, she wanted them to have fun, and they'd only be outside for a short while until it was time to come in. But in the blink of an eye, tragedy struck. A stranger approached the 3 young siblings and asked them if they wanted ice cream from Bobco's, a local store. Rachael's brother warned her not to follow the man, but she took a few steps toward him and within seconds, the man snatched Rachael up and was gone. Rachael's brothers raced inside to tell Elaine, and she called police who were at her home in less than 5 minutes. Police quickly took action and set up a county wide roadblock, but they did not find Rachael of her abductor. Police worked closely with Rachael's brother to gather details of what he witnessed, and despite his young age, he gave police a very detailed description of the man and his car. The suspect had dark skin and was possibly Black, or Hispanic. He was 5'8" to 6'0" tall, with a medium build, and a black mustache, and between twenty-five and thirty-five years old. His car was described as blue midsize car with wood grain stripes on the side- possibly a Ford Pinto Squire Station-Wagon, or similar vehicle.
Sunset Utah had a heavily Caucasian population, and despite the very distinct description of a suspect who was possibly Black or Hispanic, along with a very unique car, no suspect was identified.
Almost a month later, Rachael's naked body was found hog-tied in a creek off a dirt road in Morgan County, twenty miles from the park where she had been abducted. Due to decomposition, Rachael's cause of death was unclear, and it could not be determined if she was sexually assaulted. Rachael's case shocked the Sunset community, and they only became more troubled when it came to light that Rachael's murder may have been connected to the occult or a snuff film.
40 years later, there have been no arrests, and Rachael's case is still unsolved. Rachael's mom Elaine, as well as Private Cold Case Investigator Jason Jensen are guests in this episode. They discuss this tragic case in details from their perspective and share details of a promising suspect who they hope may be proven to be Rachael's killer.

''DAVIS COUNTY, Utah — A Davis County family is pleading for help in a 40-year-old cold case.
It was today, back in 1982, when 3-year-old Rachael Runyan disappeared from a playground behind her family’s home.''
“It was only minutes as I prepared their lunch,” said Elaine Runyan.
For 40 years, Elaine Runyan has been re-sharing and re-telling her daughter’s story.
“It was at that time that a man lured her across the park with promises of bubblegum ice cream,” she said.''
"Elaine Runyan speaks today, in 2022, about her daughter’s disappearance.
The kidnapper was described as around six feet tall, 25 to 35 years old.
“The subject has a medium-brown complexion and had a dark afro-style haircut,” said Brett Jamison, Sunset’s current police chief.''
The suspect’s car looked similar to this blue Ford Pinto, with wood trim, brought by the family’s private investigator Friday.
"Jamison said DNA testing has been tried on old evidence, but because of methods at the time, not much was preserved.
“Everything’s come back insufficient,” Jamison said. “Uh, inconclusive.”
